Description

Groundwork Dance Festival
April 11 & 12, 2026
LSPU Hall


Groundwork is a foundation.


Groundwork is a two-day dance festival built to create professional performance opportunities in
a supportive environment. It exists to make space for dancers and movement artists at all stages
to show work, be seen, and build momentum.


Ethically non-curated, Groundwork is rooted in equity of access and trust in artists. We aim to
create space to present dance and to build dance audiences.
This festival is for artists who want to put their work in front of an audience, and for audiences at
every stage of their relationship with dance: those who are deeply familiar, as well as those just
beginning to discover dance.


Groundwork is a partnership between Cameo and Untellable Movement Theatre, and is artistically
directed and produced by Andrya Duff and Lynn Panting.
